Role Summary
We are seeking a Structural Engineer to join our water treatment design and fabrication team. The Structural Engineer is responsible for the structural design, coordination, and delivery of modular and site-built water and wastewater treatment facilities. This role combines hands‑on structural engineering with end-to-end project management, ensuring technical integrity, schedule adherence, and cost control from concept through fabrication, transport, installation, and commissioning.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the structural design of modular buildings, steel frames, tanks, foundations, equipment supports, and specialty structures for water and wastewater treatment facilities.
- Prepare and review structural calculations, drawings, and specifications in accordance with applicable building codes and standards.
- Produce and review AutoCAD-based structural drawings, including plans, sections, details, and fabrication layouts.
- Develop and coordinate 3D structural models to support interdisciplinary coordination, clash detection, and constructability reviews.
- Design for transportation, lifting, and installation loads, including modular shipping stresses.
- Coordinate structural interfaces with process, mechanical, and electrical systems.
- Design and review steel and stainless steel tanks and related process containment systems, including pipe and equipment supports, anchoring, access platforms, and integration with piping and mechanical equipment.
- Review shop drawings, fabrication packages, and as-built documentation.
- Provide engineering support during fabrication and construction, including resolving field issues and non-conformances.
- Seal drawings and calculations as required by professional registration.
Project Support
- Assist the Project Manager with schedule, cost, and risk management from a technical standpoint.
- Identify technical risks early and propose mitigation strategies.
- Support preparation of project documentation, including data books, O&M manuals, and as-built drawings.
- Participate in internal and external technical meetings with clients, suppliers, and inspectors.
Experience
- 5–10+ years of experience in structural design of industrial, modular, or utility-scale facilities.
- Demonstrated experience using AutoCAD for structural and fabrication drawings.
- Experience producing and reviewing construction and fabrication drawings.
- Practical experience with 3D modelling tools (e.g., Inventor, or similar).
- Demonstrated experience managing multi-disciplinary engineering projects.
- Experience with steel structures, modular buildings, foundations, and equipment supports.
- Familiarity with fabrication-driven design and coordination with manufacturing teams.
- Experience in water, wastewater, industrial, or resource infrastructure projects is preferred.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Structural or Civil Engineering.
- Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or eligible for registration in BC.
- Ability to seal structural designs in BC.Registration in other provinces/territories is an asset.
- Comfortable working directly with production and shop-floor teams.
- Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple technical tasks concurrently.
- Proficiency with structural analysis and design software.Strong working knowledge of steel design codes.
- Understanding of constructability, transportation constraints, and site installation sequencing.
- Continuous learning and professional development
